What research interviews actually test: a stock pitch you can defend for ten minutes, a first take written against the clock, and a clear answer on why research and how its rules work.

  1. 1Choosing a stock to pitchMost weak pitches fail at the choice. Pick a company you can know better than the interviewer expects, where your numbers can differ from the Street for a reason you can name.8 min
  2. 2Building the pitch on one pageProA pitch is a call, a target, three reasons with numbers, the variant view, dated catalysts, and the risks that would change your mind. It fits on one page and in two minutes.9 min
  3. 3Writing the first takeProThe first note after earnings is read in the minutes before the open. A headline with a view, four bullets with numbers against consensus, and a line on what changes.9 min

  1. 4The initiation reportProAn initiation is the long first report on a stock. The first page carries the call; the rest earns the reader's trust in it with the thesis, the model, valuation, and risks.9 min
  2. 5Defending the pitch under pushbackProThe pitch takes two minutes; the defense takes ten. Know what the price already assumes, put numbers on the bear case, and concede small points without giving up the thesis.10 min
  3. 6The superday written caseProA release, an estimate sheet, and an hour. The grader wants the verdict, the numbers against consensus, one estimate change, and clean prose. This lesson runs one end to end.11 min
  4. 7Fit, independence, and complianceProResearch is a regulated job built on independence. Interviewers check that you want the work itself and that you understand the rules that protect it.9 min
